I've stitched myself with needle and regular thread when I've gashed one of my fingers, cyst removal. Nope, haven't tried that, yet. Your pretty tuff.

Lidocaine is cheap.  Used it to remove a rather large chunk of glass that was buried in my arm years ago during a car crash the doctors missed at the time.

I've got one on my back I can't reach. If I only had some lidocaine I'd grab one of my wife's paramedic friends and have them dig it out.

I've had a couple of doc's look at it, "oh that's surgery" then you see literally thousands of these things dug out on youtube. I'm not saying everyone should do it at home, but the doc ought to be able to knock one out in an office visit.

I'm about to try the same thing on my scrotum. Smallish white bump just under the skin. I tried to use a needle but had no luck. Just ordered some sterile scalpel blades and going to get some iodine and bacitracin.  No one here can do stitches so I'm hoping to make a small enough cut and just super glue it.

I'm a little worried about bleeding, just using the needle it took a while to get it to stop. Any tips?

Wear a helmet, because you're gonna lose your shit and pass out when that glue hits the raw incision on your sac.

Insane.   The last one I had removed took my family doctor 30 minutes to remove and stich up.

The tool he used was a circular  punch.   It punched a ring of skin and flesh out,  he removed the flap with the medical version of needlenose pliers and the cyst as well.   About the size of a marble.

Shh!  Don't discourage them.  Medical training is over-rated and this could be entertaining.

That is exactly how you contaminate a bacitracin tube.  Apply it with a single use q-tip next time.  Better trash that tube.

Fellas you can buy a bottle of lidocaine from a nice US Dr. travel medical website who sells it along with a suture kit for use when going to 3rd world countries with no clean medical supplies.  Might be a good thing to have for self-surgery...  I keep some on my boat for nasty hook removals, otherwise I go to the doc.

I took off a huge skin tag on my inner thigh with a pair of scissors. Didn't get it on the 1st cut. I assumed there would be no nerves in that fucker. I was eye wateringly wrong.

The bleeding would not stop. After 24 hours it was still gushing. I wrapped my leg in a towel and drove to the store and grabbed superglue and sealed that fucker up.

Now I always have superglue on hand

I have the same boots too. Mine rubbed a hole in my skin where the pull tabs ( or whatever they're called) came in contact with my calves. Can the boots cause cysts? Maybe?

I've excised pilar cysts on my own head.

Not my head:

The sac is thick and looks like this if you get it out in one piece:

Your scalp bleeds like a MFer, so I get some lido with epi and infiltrate it to control that.  Luckily, I'm a guy, I'm bald, and I don't GAF about scars on my head so it works out.  If I cared, I could pay a pro to do it for me and get a minimal scar.....but nah.

I was just out your way earlier this month OP. Went to Lou Taubert's and spend about $450. That is a nice western store. I had to leave before I spent more.

Where in Wyoming do you live? We were northwest of Douglas by about 25 miles for a few days.

Forgot to add  . . . . friend of mine is a general doctor. I was training a horse for here a few years ago and she offered to cut one of my chest for me. She said it was the only 'surgery' she had ever performed in a living room, with an audience that consisted of a chow, the girlfriend of the patient, and the patient chewing tobacco. Lol

You should have recorded it.

No not that trip. I was helping my friend at his horse sale. I was supposed to be up around your way somewhere the end of May shooting prairie dogs and helping at a branding but several factors fell the wrong way and I couldn't make it work.

You sure live in a beautiful state.
